Mykonos on the Bay @ Sentosa

6-months in and I think everyone is realising just how bloody small Singapore is now. No breaks away from it. No long weekends to the chaos of South East Asia on our doorstep. It’s like a quarantine in a big room, a room of 50×27 Km. We needed to get somewhere else. I saw some mates of mine hit this new beach/Seaview restaurant called Stella down Changi but we could not get a booking. So a quick search on Google and I found a few and we chose;

Mykonos on the Bay @ Sentosa

31 Ocean Way, #01-10 Quayside Isle, Sentosa Cove

+65 6334 3818

It felt like we had left Singapore for a day. Well, a lazy long lunch. It really did feel like we had left Singapore, sitting there admiring all the superyachts and the like, mixing with the Sentosa Islander-folk. We were very impressed with where the restaurant is located as Quayside Isle is fricking awesome. BUT, you surely do pay for the experience. We ate a lot, absolutely agreed, but this was one of the most expensive meals we have had in Singapore. The main reason is they are charging $16++ for a pint of beer. WTF. I get a pit for $8 net in Siglap. I get having a price-hike for where you are eating, but double the price and ++ is obscene. Really way over the top. Anyways, moan over and back to the lunch.

So lovely to see a family photo with smiling faces in this Covid-19 world we now live in. The eyes have it…

Try and pronounce this dish. Htapodaki. Yeap, AKA char-grilled Mediterranean octopus, pickled octopus terrine. Now that terrine you can see at the back is bloody unique, never ever heard of that before. A stunner of a plated dish. I just love this dish. Flavour and textures going off all over the place. Top drawer dish. Great work Mykanos.

Do you want a unique super-refreshing salad? Look no further than the Watermelon Salad ‘w’ Feta. A tad of an underplay with the wording in the menu. This is incredible. See that green on the top? It’s sorbet drizzled with balsamic. And not just any sorbet. It’s mint. Holy shit! So they say; “refreshing watermelon bits, tangy feta cheese, mint sorbet, arugula, aged balsamic vinegar.” Yeah, it’s complex and bloody good!!!

Without a doubt, the very best Hummus and Pita I have ever had. Soooo nutty in flavour. It is off the charts. I read in the menu that they use sesame paste and lemon juice with the chickpeas and garlic. Well, there you go. Heavenly! And it is about the same price as one beer here, bargain!!!

And up next the very best Saganaki I have ever eaten in my life, including sat on waterfronts in Greece. This is just bonkers good. In the menu, it states it as Graviera Saganaki, but I think we ordered the special of the board. Hey whatever, it was absolutely fantastic squeaky cheese. The best!!! It states it is glazed with ouzo and lemon juice. I’ll have that every day of the week. So creamy and so savoury all in one mouthful. Just incredible!

Then we went a bit over the top ordering two huge meat platters despite the recommendation of the server. Yeah, we ate with our eyes. This is a 4 pax platter. This is a LOT of meat. The Mixed Grill Platter. Chicken sausages with enough chilli to burn your cat a new one. Lamb chops. Gyros shaves (yes they have a Gyros spit out the back). rib-eye steak (abso-fucking-lutely a stunner of a steak). Minced lamb skewer and a shit tonne of chips. OMG!!! Food coma just looking at it.

So because we ordered that monster platter, how about we also order Pita Gyros. Yeah, why not. It’s official we have massively over-ordered. But this is so flipping good. Like A++ good off the spit out the back. Holy cow (pig) this is amazeballs good. They state, and I wholeheartedly agree; “mouth-melting pork belly shaves, sweet onion, tzatziki, pita bread served like a platter…” Soooooooo good!!!

And to close. To add more pain to an already bloated stomach. Let’s be having you Olive Oil & Chocolate. I just could not refuse those words, especially when it then said sea salt flakes too. Chocolate, Olive oil & salt – come on!!! I literally slipped into food coma halfway through this, Wifey and I could not finish it. So decadently delicious but man oh man so filling. Great job through Mykanos.

So there you have it. A lovely afternoon with the family. Rather delicious food whilst looking over amazing yachts and boats. Stunning actually. And yes, cold beverages. Just abso-bloody-lutely expensive beverages. Not really incentivised to sit there again for a long afternoon of beers. But, the food really was excellent. Mykonos on the Bay @ Sentosais serving up truly excellent Greek food. It really is up there with the best we have had in Singapore and overseas. Great service too from the lovely ladies at the front-of-house, all of whom were Filipina. It’s well worth a visit. Maybe BYO on the hooch front, haha – ENJOY!!!

Father of 3. All my kids are mixed, with English-Japanese, and English-Filipino - a recipe in the making there. I have been cooking since a small lad, as guided by my Nan and my Mum - gradually that morphed through exposure to Thai cooking from a lovely lady called Da in Margate. I used to hang out in her restaurant and watch the techniques. So the 1+1= greater than 2 occurred - Mum/Nan/Da - off I went in to the world of Asian cuisine. Moving to Asia in early 2000's clearly has brought that on somewhat - we travel continually, and eat locally and therefore have exposure to more and more new things. I have lived my dream and written a cook book whilst here, an amazing experience and all for a good cause too as I raised a lot of money for charity. My blog is now hopefully turning in to book number 2. Watch this space. I hope you enjoy my passion.
